§ 52. Mr. DAYasked the President of the Board of Education whether his Department has considered the advisability of having fire extinguishers installed in the elementary schools in England and Wales; and what would be the cost?
§ The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of EDUCATION (Sir Charles Trevelyan)This, is a matter for the local education and school authorities. I can, however, assure my hon. Friend that in considering school plans the Board give careful attention to the arrangements for escape in case of fire.
§ Mr. DAYCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether estimates have been taken out as to the cost, so that an answer can be given to the last part of the question?
§ Mr. SEXTONWill my right hon. Friend in considering the adoption of this suggestion, have regard to superflous and supplementary questions?
